Convocation/White Coat Ceremony

The Convocation/White Coat ceremony is to be held on Friday, August 17, 2007, at 2pm at Nitschke Auditorium on the main campus of the University of Toledo. As a student, you will be expected to be there at 1pm to line up and check in.
The White Coat ceremony always draws a large crowd, so tell your family members to come early to get a good seat. Nitschke Auditorium is large, so it shouldn't be a problem. Please encourage your family to attend, it's a very nice ceremony that marks the beginning of your med school journey.
